didnt realise you could clean them - although it didn't look like a paper element.
Wished I would have known this when the car was in bits. Reckon I will get a new one, clean the old one and keep it in my ' get me out the shit ' car parts box. (We all have one of these don't we??) |

I did mine at the weekend too. Its amazing the shite that gets sucked in through the flap, I found small bits of stone, loads of grit & all sorts.
Also a good opportunity to give everything a check over, pas fluid, dipstick oil level etc. These zymol wheel brushes are good for getting to the butterflies if you don't want to strip the main airbox:

I thought I read somewhere on the forum a post by Bealo who said to avoid the ITG ones, as they didn't seal properly?

 However, I've been using the same ITG filter for around 4 years maybe more without issue. There, I've said it. I'll throttle someone if the next time I fire it up it calves on me!
